SIGNED GALAPAGOS TORTOISE. A limited quantity of SIGNED Galapagos tortoise event pieces now available. First come, first served in designer signed section. While we would not normally offer a "current" piece, since this piece is not available in UK signed and will not be signed at the Designer Signing event, we decided to purchase, when offered, a small quantity of them to offer to our clients. This in no way breaches our policy of not competing in the primary market as we know this piece is not available in this format in the UK via retailers.

No clues yet, but something quite a few of you have been asking about!! Oh OK, just one clue. We have commissioned this product in 3 different sizes!! Launch has been unavoidably delayed. We have an announcement to make in early September, which will explain why this is late!

E-FLYER - Our latest e-flyer was despatched to those of you who are on our e-mail list on 8th March. There is no planned timescale for these, we only issue them as/when we have something to tell you that needs to be out there more quickly than putting it on this page.

SIGNED PIECES - If you are looking for signed Swarovski pieces, please let us know via our express an interest facility as we now have access to a wide range of signed pieces, including annual editions, so do please let us know the signed pieces you are searching for.

TINKERBELL
The price continues to go through the roof, and we have therefore taken the decision to only handle this item as an "express an interest" item. There are too many speculative sellers out there, and we feel the prices being asked are above what the correct market level should be. We don't actually believe these sellers are achieving sales at those levels, and so we refuse to play their game until their selling prices become more realistic.

General News.
Our new office hours of Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm seem to be working well for everyone concerned. We break for lunch at some point between 12pm and 1pm, for around half an hour - but timing varies!

A new range of wooden stands are available in our display section! They look absolutely super.

Unfortunately we have been unable to organise more supplies of the glass marguerite stands, flowers, bamboo and ornament stands. We still have some heart stands in triple and single format available, but it is unlikely we will be able to supply any of these items again as the people who make them had very specialist skills and they have retired and not been replaced.

Good news is that we have found a supplier for Christmas ornament stands and a range of other display material. Should be with us shortly.

We don’t charge a fee for the use of credit or debit cards, nor are there any additional charges for shipping to UK destinations – so what you see is what you pay. No nasty surprises.

For European and international destinations we charge a simple flat fee of £7 to Europe, £10 to USA, so again, you don’t have to wait until you have finished shopping to find out how much shipping will be.
